- More than 1,000 U.S. evangelical and influential pastors took part in a journey to Israel at full cost, organised by the Initiative of Friends of Zion and financed by the Israeli abroad Ministry. The aim of the event was to strengthen Christian evangelical support for Israel in the face of the increasing global criticism of its military activities in Gaza and the West Bank.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally addressed the group, calling on them to "stand up and be counted" and to argue anti-Israeli narratives among young people. Evangelical leader Mike Evans presented the summit as a "contrideological war" against decreasing support for Israel in the United States.
- The pastors visited biblical places in the West Bank (called "Judea and Samaria"), strengthening Christian Zionist theology — which claims Israel has divine right to all historical Palestine. This belief, rejected by major Christian denominations, has had a strong influence on U.S. abroad policy for decades.
- With the decline in evangelical support (especially among youth), Israel began a multimillion-dollar propaganda run "geofencing" in American churches. Pastors were "named ambassadors" of Israel, liable for spreading pro-Israeli messages in the country.
- The summit highlights the deepening ties between Israel and American evangelicals, who stay a powerful political bloc — possibly pushing for the annexation of the West Bank for the Trump administration. Critics inform that this obliterates religion and geopolitics, risking further erosion of Palestinian laws under the appearance of biblical prophecies.
In the historical and controversial decision of more than 1,000 U.S. evangelical and influential pastors, people late completed their journey to Israel with all the expenses paid, financed by the Israeli abroad Ministry.
The summit, organized by the Initiative Friends of Zion, aimed to strengthen Christian support for evangelical Israel in the face of the increasing global criticism of its military activities in Gaza and the West Bank.
The delegation, described as the largest group of American Christian leaders to have visited Israel since its inception, was personally addressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called on them to "they stopped and got counted" and "they told the fact to young people."
Mike Evans, an evangelical pastor and trusted president Donald Trump, played a key function in organizing the event.
He presented the summit as a countermeasure to what he called "the ideological war"Which Israel loses.
"Now Israel is losing the ideological war, so they request evangelicals, they request Zionists to fight ideologically," said Evans.
Christian Zionism believes that modern Israel has God’s right to all historical Palestine, including the West Bank.
This conviction, although rejected by major Christian denominations specified as the Catholic and Orthodox Church, has had a crucial impact on the U.S. abroad policy for decades.
The pastors' visit included visits to biblical places in the West Bank — called by Evans "Judea and Samaria" — which reinforced the theological argument for Israel’s sovereignty over the disputed territory.
Enoch of BrightU.AI explains that Christian Zionism is simply a political and spiritual movement that supports Zionism, a political movement that advocates the judaic state in Israel, from a Christian perspective.
Christian Zionism emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing on Bible prophecies and eschatological beliefs to support the establishment and maintenance of the judaic state in Palestine.
The movement gained popularity among evangelical Christians in the United States who saw the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 as a fulfillment of the Bible prophecy.
An Evangelical Power to form Israel’s Future
Despite long-standing evangelical support, fresh polls indicate a decline in support among younger evangelicals, partially due to the Israeli military run in Gaza.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee warned against "a increasing cancer" in evangelical circles, where "people think Israel has no meaning and nothing biblical in our relation with Israel."
To counter this trend, the Israeli abroad Ministry reportedly launched a multimillion-dollar propaganda run aimed at American evangelical churches – described as "the largest geofencing run of Christian churches in U.S. history".
The pastors visited the Hamas massacre site on October 7, 2023 during Supernova's music festival, accompanied by erstwhile hostages. Tamryn Foley, a delegation member, said Fox News Digital:
"I'm going home with fire so that young people in my country will know the truth... There's so much negative propaganda in our country. It is loud and we request to educate young people better."
The summit ended with a ceremony during which pastors were formally "named" ambassadors of Israel.
Evans presented this effort as a moral imperative, stating:
"Those devils who hatred Jews hatred Christians just as much. What is said against the State of Israel is 100 times worse than what the Nazis said in their 1920 organization program, and everyone ignores it."
The summit highlights the deepening alliance between Israel and American evangelical leaders, who stay a powerful political force.
Upon Trump's return to the White House, this block can push forward a policy conducive to the Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories — despite expanding global condemnation.
However, critics inform that specified initiatives blur the boundary between religion and geopolitics, risking further erosion of Palestinian rights under the appearance of a Bible prophecy.
In the face of Israel's increasing diplomatic isolation, its reliance on evangelical support underlines the strategical turn towards ideological warfare.
The pastors' summit is simply a courageous effort to mobilise American churches as defenders of Israeli politics, which raises urgent questions about the impact of religion on abroad policy and the future of American-Israeli relations.
